a.
The internal hard drives are configured in a RAID6 configuration. RAID6 provides the system with the ability to
withstand the simultaneous failure of two hard drives, or the failure of one hard drive while another hard drive is still
rebuilding after a drive replacement operation.
b.
After replacing a disk, it takes approximately 18 hours to complete the rebuild operation on the new disk, but may
take longer depending on the amount of activity on the system.
c.
The system compensates for the required file system overhead, so the reported usable capacity matches the
specified usable capacity.

Slot addition rules
l
A maximum of six optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems without
Extended Retention software, and a maximum of five optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet)
are allowed in systems with Extended Retention software.
l
Additional FC modules should be installed in numerically increasing slot numbers immediately to
the right of the existing FC modules, or starting in slot 0 if no FC modules were originally
installed. A maximum of four FC modules are allowed in a system.
l
Additional Ethernet modules should be installed in numerically decreasing slot numbers
immediately to the left of the existing Ethernet modules or starting in slot 4 if no Ethernet
modules were originally installed. For systems without Extended Retention software, a
maximum of six (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present. For
systems with Extended Retention software, a maximum of five (limited to four of any one
type) Ethernet modules can be present.
l
All systems include two SAS modules in slots 7 and 8. Systems with Extended Retention
software must have two additional SAS modules in slots 5 and 6.
l
For systems without Extended Retention software, if adding I/O modules results in the allowed
maximum of six I/O modules present, slot 5 is used. Slot 5 is only used for an Ethernet module.
Adding FC modules in this specific case require moving an existing Ethernet module to slot 5.
Other than this specific case, it is not recommended to move I/O modules between slots.
Dell EMC DD and PowerProtect Hardware Features and Specifications 49
DD4200
l
Adding Extended Retention software to a system includes adding two SAS modules in slots 5
and 6. If the system originally had the maximum of 6 optional I/O modules, the I/O module in
slot 5 must be permanently removed from the system.
Fibre Channel (FC) I/O Module Option
An FC I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. The optional virtual tape library (VTL)
feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fiber Channel is optional and the total FC
HBAs cannot exceed more than allowable Fibre Channel cards per controller.

DD4200 and ES30 shelf guidelines
The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off
the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage
of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:
l
Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed
in the following table below.
l
Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a
cabling mistake.
l
A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of
added shelf capacity.
l
ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.

Types of cabinets and power connections
The ES30 chassis is installed in two types of racks: 40U-C (existing racks) and the 40U-P (newer
racks). The racks use one phase or 3-phase power connections.
This section describes the different types of racks and the power connections for the ES30
chassis.
Single phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)
The following illustrations show single phase power connections for 40U-P racks that are used for
several Data Domain systems.

3-Phase power connections for 40U-P (current racks)
Some environments use 3-phase power for 40U-P racks that are used for several Data Domain
systems. In those situations, it is desirable to balance the current draw across all three phases. The
recommended 3-phase power cabling attempts to do that, but an optimal configuration depends
on the specific installation. The following illustrations show recommended 3-phase power
connections for several Data Domain systems.
Note: The next few diagrams show recommended 3-phase delta power connections.

Cabling shelves
Note:
62 Dell EMC DD and PowerProtect Hardware Features and Specifications
l
Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit
installation instructions included with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.
l
The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then
use another port as defined later for that specific system.
l
On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets.
The ports on the second node must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports
on the first node.
Ports on the system’s SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controller’s host port. For
redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one
shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf
controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still
operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from
power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file
system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.
There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.
ES30 and DD4200 cabling
There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of ES20, ES30 SATA, and
ES30 SAS shelves to your system. If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a
legitimate configuration.
Prerequisites:
l
Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table.
l
You cannot have ES20 and ES30 shelves in the same set.
l
You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set.
l
You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling
table.
l
The maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table cannot be exceeded.
l
You cannot have more than four ES20s in a single set (maximum preference is three).
l
You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum preference is four).
l
You can have a maximum of seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software.
l
There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for the metadata shelves for DD Cloud
Tier configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30
shelves.
DD4200
Note: An ES20 requires more power than an ES30. Ensure that your rack is configured to
handle the power needs.
The tables below show how to configure a mixed system. To use the tables, go to the appropriate
system. Then find the number of ES20s that are to be configured in the first column. The next
column defines the number of ES20 sets. If there are multiple rows with the same number of
ES20s then pick the row with the appropriate number of ES20 SATA shelves. The next column in
that row defines the number of sets of ES30 SATA shelves. Finally, there may be entries for the
number of desired ES30 SAS shelves and the number of sets to be used.
If the combinations of shelves exceed the supported usable storage, there may not be an entry.
The entries are based on the smallest usable storage per shelf type (12TB for ES20, 12 TB for
ES30 SATA, and 24TB for ES30 SAS). Always check that the sum of the usable storage of all of
the shelves does not exceed the supported usable storage of the configuration.

Mixing DS60, ES30, and ES20 shelves:
The non-Extended Retention versions of these systems all support four chains.
Extra planning and reconfiguration may be required to add DS60 shelves to system with ES20
shelves, ES30 SATA shelves, or a combination of shelves.
l
The ES20 shelves must be on their own set. Minimize the ES20 set count by combining up to
four ES20s per set.
l
ES30 SATA shelves must also be on their own sets. Minimize the ES30 set count by combining
up to five ES30s per set. If required, combine up to seven ES30 SAS shelves per set to
minimize the set count.
l
A set can contain a maximum of two DS60 shelves and, if required because of other
restrictions, add ES30 SAS shelves up to a maximum of five shelves in that set.
Note: The configuration rules apply also to Extended Retention systems.
The following figures show cabling for base systems and systems with the Extended Retention
software.
Note: It is recommended that the DS60 shelf with the greater number of drives should always
be placed in the bottom position.

Slot addition rules
l
A maximum of six optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet) are allowed in systems without
Extended Retention software, and a maximum of five optional I/O modules (FC plus Ethernet)
are allowed in systems with Extended Retention software.
l
Additional FC modules should be installed in numerically increasing slot numbers immediately to
the right of the existing FC modules, or starting in slot 0 if no FC modules were originally
installed. A maximum of four FC modules are allowed in a system.
l
Additional Ethernet modules should be installed in numerically decreasing slot numbers
immediately to the left of the existing Ethernet modules or starting in slot 4 if no Ethernet
modules were originally installed. For systems without Extended Retention software, a
maximum of six (limited to four of any one type) Ethernet modules can be present. For
systems with Extended Retention software, a maximum of five (limited to four of any one
type) Ethernet modules can be present.
l
All systems include two SAS modules in slots 7 and 8. Systems with Extended Retention
software must have two additional SAS modules in slots 5 and 6.
l
For systems without Extended Retention software, if adding I/O modules results in the allowed
maximum of six I/O modules present, slot 5 is used. Slot 5 is only used for an Ethernet module.
Adding FC modules in this specific case require moving an existing Ethernet module to slot 5.
Other than this specific case, it is not recommended to move I/O modules between slots.
Dell EMC DD and PowerProtect Hardware Features and Specifications 89
DD4500
l
Adding Extended Retention software to a system includes adding two SAS modules in slots 5
and 6. If the system originally had the maximum of 6 optional I/O modules, the I/O module in
slot 5 must be permanently removed from the system.
Fibre Channel (FC) I/O Module Option
An FC I/O module is a dual-port Fibre Channel module. The optional virtual tape library (VTL)
feature requires at least one FC I/O module. Boost over Fiber Channel is optional and the total FC
HBAs cannot exceed more than allowable Fibre Channel cards per controller.
Ethernet I/O Module Options
The available Ethernet I/O modules are:
l
Dual Port 10GBase-SR Optical with LC connectors
l
Dual Port 10GBase-CX1 Direct Attach Copper with SPF+ module
l

DD4500 and ES30 shelf guidelines
The Data Domain system rediscovers newly configured shelves after it restarts. You can power off
the system and recable shelves to any other position in a set, or to another set. To take advantage
of this flexibility, you need to follow these rules before making any cabling changes:
l
Do not exceed the maximum shelf configuration values for your Data Domain system as listed
in the following table below.
l
Use the Installation and Setup Guide for your Data Domain system to minimize the chance of a
cabling mistake.
l
A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity, regardless of
added shelf capacity.
l
ES30 SATA shelves must be on their own chain.
Dell EMC DD and PowerProtect Hardware Features and Specifications 91
DD4500
Note:
l
ES30 SAS shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.
l
ES30-45 SATA shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 or later.
l
DD OS 5.7 and later support 4TB drives.

Cabling shelves
Ports on the system’s SAS HBA cards connect directly to a shelf controller’s host port. For
redundancy, you need to create dual paths by using a port on one SAS HBA card to connect to one
shelf controller in each shelf set, and a port on another SAS HBA card to connect to another shelf
controller in the same shelf set. With dual paths, if one SAS HBA card fails, the shelf is still
operational. However, in the unlikely event any single shelf becomes completely disconnected from
power or SAS cables and becomes disconnected from a previously operational shelf, the file
system goes down and the shelf is not operational. This is considered a double failure.
There are two kinds of configurations: one shelf in a set or multiple shelves in a set.
Note:
l
Before cabling the shelves, physically install all shelves in the racks. Refer to the rail kit
installation instructions included with the ES30 shelf for rack mounting.
l
The documentation refers to two SAS HBAs. If only one HBA is allowed in a system, then
use another port as defined later for that specific system.
l
On an HA system, add cables from the second node to open ports at the end of the sets.
The ports on the second node must connect to the same sets as the corresponding ports
on the first node.
ES30 and DD4500 cabling
There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of ES20, ES30 SATA, and
ES30 SAS shelves to your system. If a system does not follow ALL of these rules it is not a
legitimate configuration.
Prerequisites:
l
Follow the minimum and maximum shelf capacity configuration provided in the table.
l
You cannot have ES20 and ES30 shelves in the same set.
l
You cannot have ES30 SATA and ES30 SAS shelves in the same set.
l
You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in the product's cabling
table.
l
The maximum number of shelves displayed in the product's cabling table cannot be exceeded.
l
You cannot have more than four ES20s in a single set (maximum preference is three).
l
You cannot have more than five ES30s in a single set (maximum preference is four).
l
You can have a maximum of seven ES30s for systems with Extended Retention software.
l
There are no specific placement or cabling requirements for the metadata shelves for DD Cloud
Tier configurations. These shelves can be installed and cabled the same way as standard ES30
shelves.
Note: An ES20 requires more power than an ES30. Ensure that your rack is configured to
handle the power needs.
The tables below show how to configure a mixed system. To use the tables, go to the appropriate
system. Then find the number of ES20s that are to be configured in the first column. The next
column defines the number of ES20 sets. If there are multiple rows with the same number of
ES20s then pick the row with the appropriate number of ES20 SATA shelves. The next column in
that row defines the number of sets of ES30 SATA shelves. Finally, there may be entries for the
number of desired ES30 SAS shelves and the number of sets to be used.
If the combinations of shelves exceed the supported usable storage, there may not be an entry.
The entries are based on the smallest usable storage per shelf type (12TB for ES20, 12 TB for
94 Dell EMC DD and PowerProtect Hardware Features and Specifications
ES30 SATA, and 24TB for ES30 SAS). Always check that the sum of the usable storage of all of
the shelves does not exceed the supported usable storage of the configuration.
